Best movie ever!

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Popeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor is a 1936 short animation; just think about that, this short that utilized rotoscoping, three-strip colour AND had a full orchestral score accompanied by voice acting in film, and this short also used 3D models as backgrounds almost half a century before Hollywood even had the ability to use CGI.Popeye has become a representative for American culture the world over; he's a spinach-eating pseudo-superhero who's still regarded as a truly beloved icon almost ninety years after he debuted in comic strips from King Features Syndicate.This short is a classic that's still a groundbreaking piece of cinema history; this short came at a time Popeye's popularity rivaled Mickey Mouse's in America.Popeye meets Sinbad is a classic and for good reason; it's funny, snappy, full of action and over-the-top goodness that makes animation such a good time.

This as well as "Popeye and the 40 thieves" is a classic.The story begins with an uncharted island filled with beasts and monsters. The ruler is Sinbad the Sailor(aka Bluto) who considers himself to be the greatest Sailor of the seven seas. But out of the blue Popeye, Wimpy, and Olive came sailing into Sinbad's territory. Sinbad sends a Rohk Bird to destroy their ship and kidnap Olive Oil.After the shipwreck, Popeye and Wimpy went to shore, to rescue Olive. When he finds her he meets face to face with Sinbad. He says that he's the greatest sailor of the 7 seas, but Popeye tells him that he's wrong about that. Sinbad sends his beasts on Popeye, who were easy to defeat. Outraged and full of anger, Sinbad challenges Popeye to a fight to determine who really is the Greatest Sailor of the 7 seas.This was the very first Popeye cartoon to be done in Technicolor and has some scenes done in 3-D scenery to give it a stand out look. It's also one of the few Popeye cartoons to be more than 15 minutes long.In my opinion it's one of the best Popeye cartoons that ever existed. And a must see for the Popeye fans.

A POPEYE Cartoon.POPEYE THE SAILOR MEETS SINDBAD THE SAILOR when our spinach-munching hero pilots his ship too near the isle of the bearded braggart. After being attacked by Sindbad's foul pets, and with Olive Oyl in the clutches of the villain, it's time for Popeye to go into action...This was the first in a series of 3 excellent two-reel cartoons, created by Max Fleischer, in which Popeye & his friends are interpolated into the classic stories of The Arabian Nights. They feature great animation - notice the fascinating 3-D backgrounds - and taut, fast-moving plots. Meant to be shown in movie theaters, they are miles ahead of their Saturday Morning counterparts. Jack Mercer is the voice of Popeye; Mae Questel does the honors for Olive Oyl.

Using the Fleischer Brothers' special 3-d backgrounds, Paramount's "Sindbad" is an impressive animation feat, as well as an entertaining and funny cartoon. It has made virtually every "greatest cartoon" list, with no apologies.
